IN CIRCUIT COURT
A Remarkable Case.

The Circuit Court in this city has
been engaged in trying a peculiar
case of life insurance.
In February and March 1883 one
Samuel A. Brantley, citizen OF Stew
art county, took out four policies on
his life, amounting to $4,000. On
the 31st of March, in company with
J. M. Skeegs and Mack Nichols he
started from Dollerson's creek in
Trigg county, KY, on a fishing and
hunting excursion to Reelfoot Lake.
They stole boat at Buffalo and went
| in it to Paducah. At Paducah they
got on board steamer and went to
Cairo, where they stole another boat
and crossed the Ohio river, going on
foot about five or six miles down
the Mississippi river on the Ken
lucky side.
About this time flock of geese
flew over, one crippled one falling in
the water. Brantley, it is alleged,
found canoe tied conveniently near
in which he started after the goose
which was about thirty yards from
the bank. When he reached it he
made one or two efforts to pick it up
The two witnesses each give conflict
ing stories as to the drowning, one
statement is that Brantley fell out Of
the canoe, and again they state that
the canoe went down in suck.
The defendant Company in this case
is the Presbyterian Mutual Assurance
Fund in which Brantley had two pol
icies of $4,000 each. 1t was proven by
the defense by three witnesses tina
they have seen Brantley since the
alleged drowning, one witness see
ing him in st. Louis in September
; 1883; another saw him in the Bell
wood Coaling in Stewart county rid
ing a gray mule on February It'll

THE WATCH FACTORY.

The stockholders Of the Wichita Watch
company met yesterday afternoon pursuant
| to adjournment, and proceeded to vote on
the question of location. Upon the fourth
ballot, Martinson's site received majority,
and was by President Snively declared the
choice for the location of the company's
works. This result was reached by Colonel
Lewis voting with the West Side, and thus
was ended the long and earnest struggle over
this question
The chosen site is less than mile west, on
Chicago avenue, and consists of about
six acres of beautiful ground lying, as it
does, in close proximity to business.
To schools, churches and colleges it speaks
volumes for the success of the enterprise.
The black chosen for the site is valued at
$4,000, in addition to which the company
receives bonus in land and money amount
ing to $4,000. The bids from other local.
ties were large and valuable and showed
thorough appreciation of the local benefits of
this enterprise
Immediately after the settlement Of the
question of location the board Of directors met
and transacted a good deal of important bust
ness and perfected the organization by electing
Irwin Stratton permanent secretary, Geo. Il.
Blackwelder vice-president and appointing
j. B. Langworthy, of the firm of Langworthy
& Richter attorney for the company. A
building committee was selected and instruct
ed Immediately to employ an architect to pre-
pare plans and specifications for the build
ings, contracts for the erection of which are
to be let on or before October first. The
buildings are to be extensive and attractive,
and erected with all possible speed.
The building committee consists of Messrs.
j. R. Snively, G. Il. Blackwelder and r.
Z. Lawrence. The building will be three
story brick, with front Of thirty feet and
two hundred feet deep.
Mr.. Peabody is now east looking after the
interests of the company in making the pur-
chase..of suitable machinery for the plant |
he is not expected to return for some weeks,
as he will probably make the purchase of
most of the machinery needed.
